*I recommend freezing the pie to set for 8 to 24 hours. To serve, thaw it in the refrigerator for a few hours until you can easily slice it.
The amount of juice in a lime will vary. Be sure to measure the fresh lime juice. You may not need all 12 limes. Any extra limes you have may be sliced and used as garnish, if desired.
This raw dessert can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 1 month.
